Today marks one year since I adopted Olivia from an animal shelter. I deliberately chose an adult cat since people usually prefer adopting kittens. I’m happy to have her in my life. She’s really deepened my love and appreciation for animals. I’m also grateful that I can provide her a good home.

The is the first time I saw Olivia at the shelter, TLC Rescue Inc! She was so chubby and cute.

Initially she was very skittish and would hide under my bed. About a week later she felt comfortable enough to lay on my bed.

Have you visited Flickr Commons lately? I suggest you check out their galleries filled with cool vintage images. Did I mentioned that the images have no known copyright restrictions? Yup. This is a treasure chest for anyone who loves to create photo montages. Check this self-portrait montage I created using images from Flickr Commons!
